We met with Dr. Bastuba today. He went over everything that was going to happen during the surgery and he discussed what to expect during the recovery. It was actually an interesting experience…
Going in, we were both thinking the same thing: we’re going to meet with a surgeon; it is going to be very serious; no time for crackin’ jokes, Duffy. But that wasn’t the case at all. Dr. Bastuba was down to earth, personable, and funny. Let’s just say, he was pleased with what he had to work with. LOL. Needless to say, Duffy reminds me of that every chance he can!

For me, the funniest thing happened after Duffy’s “exam”. The screw fell out of Dr. Bastuba’s glasses. He spent about ten minutes on the floor, butt straight up in the air, searching for the screw so he could fix his glasses. He never did find it, so he wound up taping them. For the rest of our meeting, this world-renowned surgeon, OUR doctor, the man who was going to cut into my husband, sat there with glasses taped together. It was pretty funny.
All that aside I really like Dr. Bastuba and feel very comfortable using him. Duffy and I have heard the same thing over and over and over again. “If you’re more than 10 years post-vasectomy, there’s really very little chance that a reversal will work”. Here’s hoping that the man with the taped glasses proves ‘em all wrong.
